Echinocorys vulgaris

Echinoidea - Holasteroida - Holasteridae

Taxonomy
Echinocorys vulgaris was named by Leske (1778) [Often attributed to Breynius (1732) but that pre-Linnean name cannot be valid. Leske (1778) likely made the name available by indication to Breynius's plate.]. It is a 3D body fossil.
